Tomatoes and Compost

                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

   The tomato plant on the left was planted in a bed of compost that was not completely finished.  The tomato on the right was planted in my regular soil.  The compost plant had 21 tomatoes on it before it hit the ground because it was too heavy.  Six fell off and then we added two more stakes to hold it up. I actually had to cut the top of the plant off because there was no more room for it to go!  The other plant had 8 tomatoes on it.  Just goes to show you how well compost can be for your garden, even if it wasn't quite ready.
